The only difference was that I used a pumpkin pie filling, and I made my filling a little bit thicker for the pie pops by not adding all of the evaporated milk that the recipe called for. I just used the recipe on the back of the canned pumpkin, however this is way too much filling for just pie pops! Unless you're planning on making hundreds of them. ;) I made about 12 pie pops and also used my filling to make mini pumpkin pies in a mini muffin tray and still had leftover filling. You could still fill a 9" pie crust really well after making 12 pie pops because you only use a very small amount of filling in each pie pop.
To make the mini pumpkin pies I cut circles from the pie crust just like I did for the pie pops, but placed them in the mini muffin trays using a pampered chef mini-tart shaper. Then filled each one with filling just below the top of the crusts. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

These are sooo cute! I made some pie pops before but felt like it was sooo much dough and not enough filling! lol :) You did a great job and the straws are such a cute touch!

ReplyDelete@MonicaThanks Monica. Yes, it is hard to get a lot of filling in the pie pops. I tried to roll my crust a little thinner, so that helped a little.

Yummy! I think I have all the ingredients at home for these!
ReplyDeleteI really need to make some pie pops. I made cake pops and they were so good, but too rich. Are the pie pops less rich?

ReplyDeleteHey Melanie,
The pie pops are much less rich then the cake pops! You can switch up the fillings to whatever you like. :)
I love these pops! They look cute and taste great
